Frequently Asked Questions

How does the process work once I hire your firm?

Once retained, we start by reviewing the charges and building a thorough defense. You’ll remain informed throughout the process as we handle everything from pre-trial motions to negotiations and court appearances.

Can you help with clearing my record through expungement?

Absolutely. We assist clients who are looking to erase eligible records and move on from past charges. Contact us to determine your eligibility.

What information should I gather before my first consultation with a criminal defense attorney? 

Gather any documents related to your arrest or charges. Bring any communications with law enforcement, witness contact info, or relevant evidence (photos, videos, texts). Even if something seems unimportant, it could help your defense, so share as much detail as possible.

What is the significance of a plea bargain versus proceeding to trial in a Texas criminal case? 

A plea bargain provides certainty by negotiating reduced charges or penalties. Trials provide a full defense but carry more uncertainty and higher penalties. Our firm evaluates evidence to guide your strategy and balance trial readiness with plea opportunities.

"A lot of lawyers write on their websites that they "fight" and that they work "tirelessly" for their clients. The truth is that being a lawyer is more than just fighting or working tirelessly. It's knowing what to do at the right moment to get a fantastic result for a client. ?I go to trial if I have to. I fight if I have to. But most of the time, my job is to help people who cannot help themselves."
